I’m from Long Island, NY and a recent graduate of the Mental Health Counseling and Wellness  program, maintaining a 4.0 gpa at New York University. I currently hold a permit as a Mental Health Counselor and receive clinical supervision from Amudalat Lasisi, LMHC.

Initially my collegiate career began at Howard University where I majored in television and film production. However, with a call to service and a passionate heart for people and the human condition, I followed my purpose and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Society with an emphasis in Wellness and Development from SUNY Cortland.

I am experienced in individual counseling as well as marriage and family counseling. My style is discerning, warm, laid back, and attentive with an appropriate fun flare. My intention is to empower clients to take dominion over their lives. By that I mean, supporting you in exercising your own authority to take control of your life in an uncontrollable and unpredictable world.

You matter and you deserve healing! My goal is to create a safe landing for you to recharge and relearn, so you can relive and embrace a life of purpose.  This is a judgment free zone; no concern is too great or too small. 

I was born and raised in New Jersey.  My curiosity and fondness for human beings propelled me to earn a Master’s Degree in Social Work at Syracuse University.

I hold credentials as a Licensed Master Social Worker, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, and Parent Educator based in attachment, attuning, and emotional regulation. I am receiving clinical supervision from Tamika Hudson, LCSW-R.

My clinical experience includes working with children ages 5+, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I use a number of therapeutic modalities that fit my clients needs including but not limited to Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems Theory.

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, strengths based and person centered. I am particularly passionate about the impact of stress and trauma in the human body and improving interventions to support trauma recovery for better emotional, physical, and relationship health.

I was born and raised in Central New York. My passion for helping others and our community is what led me to pursue a Master’s degree from Syracuse University in Social Work.

Being a Social Worker is not just a job, it is a calling. I like to meet a client and assist them in building on their current foundation and tools in a way that fits with their personal beliefs and values. Therapy should be a safe place to express emotions and to be met with empathy and kindness. My personal style is client-centered, culturally sensitive, empowering, and fun. Therapy does not look the same for everyone, we are all unique individuals with unique needs. Together we will discover these needs and insights to help guide you on your journey.

Born and raised in Central New York, I graduated Cum Laude from SUNY Fredonia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Syracuse University.

Some of my main goals as a counselor is to advocate for underrepresented populations and assist in normalizing mental health in society. My most recent work has involved career and professional development dedicated to the Haudenosaunee population on Syracuse campus.

My therapeutic approach aligns most with Person-Centered and Gestalt Theory. My approach emphasizes a therapeutic alliance, where we work collaboratively. Together, we will use evidence-based tools and techniques to achieve your goals.

My style is warm, conversational, and empathetic. I aim to facilitate a safe space where you feel comfortable, engaged, and heard. I prioritize cultural sensitivity, autonomy, and ethical practice.
